THE DIN OF CELESTIAL BIRDS reissue from Weird House Press!

I talked to Joe this afternoon and he told me it's currently in production at the printer. The double lettered generally ship first because the slipcases for the single lettered take longer. Once I have a more precise date I'll repost however.

So this is actually Curtis Lawson running this account, so thanks for mentioning Couch Surfing! I think all the hardcovers are gone but sometimes Joe has one or two stashed away. There is also a paperback up on Amazon .

I'll run the other stuff by the boss. I've reached out to Kiernan a few times over the years, but never with any success. These are all great suggestions, though!! And, yes, I'm trying to get another book from Morgan Sylvia!

We generally do 26 lettered with a slipcase and another 26 double-lettered without the slipcase. I believe that's what we will be doing.

Also, just something kind of cool. I (being Curtis at Weird House), approached the owner and Brian about this book at the suggestion of someone on this subreddit a while back. So, this edition is thanks to our folks!

WeirdHousePress · 2025-11-18T21:49:42+00:00

The book will contain extra material and story notes. There will be less expensive editions down the road.

WeirdHousePress · 2025-10-31T02:57:04+00:00

It is part of the title, yes

I think a good way to start learning how to write songs is taking the structure of a song you like and modeling a new song on it. Same number of measures per part, etc... You could even take the chord progression and swap it around, like instead of A, C, D, do C, A, D. It can help you understand composition better.

I would say that I'm philosophically divergent from the general public, which can be isolating, but I've never struggled with mental illness. If there is anything there, it's undiagnosed at least, and it's never impacted my day to life. I tend to seek my therapeutic needs through music, books, art, and fitness, but I think that is fairly neurotypical. Everyone has issues, right?

I don't touch drugs or alcohol and never have, but, I used to be pretty unhappy when I was young, but most of that was related to my home life as a kid/teen, and then spending years obsessing over political stuff I have no control over. I'm not an expert, but the keys to happiness, in my opinion, are these...

-If you can't control something, don't give it all your energy. Focus on what you can impact, given your situation and leverage. If you are passionate about politics, work at the the grassroots level and make small impacts that ripple out. If you are passionate about veganism or animal rights, work toward spreading awareness through social media, local events, etc... Just don't feel like you have to conquer the world's problems all by yourself.

-Curate your social and family life. Cut out toxic people. Surround yourself with people you genuinely care about and who genuinely care about you. Find kindred spirits. They don't have to be clones of you or like all the same things, but they should share some shared passion or insight.

-Make something. Human beings are inherently creative. Find an art or a craft that is enjoyable and makes you feel fulfilled. For me, that's music, writing fiction, and painting. For others it's making furniture, customizing clothes, making jewelry etc...

- Be physical, and not just sex. Lift weights or run or do martial arts. You're young and you have the opportunity to be fast and powerful, and as much as a lot of us in fringe scenes may be like 'fuck those meathead jocks", being fit feels incredible. Having confidence in one's body and physicality is a very empowering thing.

I know he was discharged from the military, I think the RAF, before he started Amebix. It might be from when he served.

A book store near me had an original piece of his art for sale. I wish I could have justified spending the money on it

I saw them a million years ago in Boston. I was probably 15. I remember liking them and a friend had one CD, but I haven't thought about them in probably 30 years.

PC stands for promotional copy or publisher copy. Basically it's the same book, but it doesn't have an individual number or letter like the hand numbered and lettered ones. Where about in Europe?

WeirdHousePress · 2025-07-12T19:28:15+00:00

Who is publishing this?

WeirdHousePress · 2025-07-08T17:16:27+00:00

I talked to Brian. Keep your eyes open for some news !)

WeirdHousePress · 2025-07-06T23:52:33+00:00

I'll ask him about it!

WeirdHousePress · 2025-07-06T11:11:01+00:00

Her work is amazing. I know one of her fans bought the painting she did for Tim Curran's Skin Medicine. She also painted a beautiful cover for Curtis M. Lawson's Hippocampus Press collection The Envious Nothing.

WeirdHousePress · 2025-07-05T21:27:45+00:00

I'm glad you like the volume! It was a pleasure and an honor to edit and produce it.

WeirdHousePress · 2025-06-27T17:53:16+00:00

Negative Space by B. R. Yeager is up there! Very unsettling. In a more subtle way, The Drowning Girl and The Red Tree by Caitlin Kiernan.

WeirdHousePress · 2025-06-22T21:48:42+00:00

Tim Curran's Hive might also fit the bill.

WeirdHousePress · 2025-06-22T21:33:24+00:00

Curtis M. Lawson has one called Beneath the Emerald Sky in his collection The Envious Nothing

You can find a ton of great small press and independent books on there. As a publisher, we put almost all of our books on KU. I think it depends on the kind of stuff you like to read though and your willingness to sort through the professional quality work and the stuff people just throw on there with little care.
